OTTAWA—A former senior adviser to the prime minister gave testimony before a parliamentary committee Friday suggesting Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff Katie Telford knew about a misconduct allegation against Canada’s then−top military commander three years ago.
Elder Marques, who worked in the Prime Minister’s Office, said Telford or her assistant contacted him on March 1 or March 2, 2018, to ask him to speak with the defence minister’s top staffer “on an issue related to the CDS,” referring to chief of defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance.
